About the show
For five decades, banjo master Greg Cahill has led Special Consensus with a clear musical vision rooted in tradition and driven by innovation.
The band’s sound reflects a deep understanding of bluegrass, blending the drive and harmonies of the classic style with contemporary repertoire and adventurous arrangements. Anchored by Cahill’s distinctive banjo style and the powerful lead vocals of Greg Blake, the 2023 and 2025 IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year, alongside Brian McCarty (mandolin and vocals) and Nico Humby (bass and vocals), Special Consensus moves effortlessly from jazz-tinged instrumentals to award-winning originals—always maintaining their bluegrass core while following their creative instincts. Special C has released 22 recordings that have garnered two Grammy nominations and eight IBMA awards.
